Swig, the Utah-based soda sensation, is making its Florida debut in Wesley Chapel this November.

A popular drink shop from TikTok recently opened in Wesley Chapel on Nov. 6. It is located at 25369 Sierra Center Blvd, near Tampa Premium Outlets.

Swig had a special promotion offering free sodas for two days, Nov. 7 and Nov. 8, from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.

This new spot is known for fun drinks, sweet snacks, and a cool place to hang out with friends.

“My experience with Swig was really good, the service was efficient, the people were friendly and very helpful, and I will definitely go again because the drinks were affordable”, said Nicholas Robinson, a graduate assistant for student and family engagement.

Swig originally started in Utah in 2010. It became known because most Mormons from Utah don’t drink coffee. Instead, they drink soda with creamer, and that’s why it is called a “dirty soda”. In the menu, you can find regular soda flavors such as Dirty Dr. Pepper, Life’s a Peach, Raspberry Dream, and Endless Dreams. For example, you can try Dr. Pepper with vanilla and coconut, or Sprite with mango and spicy Tajín.

These drinks look great and taste even better, which is why so many people post about them online.

The Wesley Chapel Swig has a drive-thru, so it’s easy to grab a drink on your way to class, work, or home. Since the holidays are coming, Swig will have special treats like peppermint cookies, cinnamon bun hot chocolate, and cranberry-strawberry drinks, which are perfect for cold days and holiday vibes.

Even though the line looked long, the employees worked incredibly fast, and most guests were served in under 30 minutes. (Photo was taken by Sayuri Vargas-Hernandez)

For Saint Leo University students, Swig is more than just a drink shop. It’s a fun way to relax, try something new, and enjoy the season without spending too much money.

If you need a sweet treat after class or a pick-me-up during late-night studying, Swig gives you a delicious break that fits your budget.

Swig is also planning to open more stores in Florida, including St. Petersburg and Bradenton. So,if you enjoy it, there will be more places to visit around Florida soon!

During this time of year, students often feel excited but also stressed about finances. Swig reminds us that you don’t need to spend a lot to feel good. Sometimes, a $4 soda with whipped cream and a fun name is all you need to make your entire day.
